5. The method according to claim 1 , including a step for verifying whether a duration of the execution of the predetermined press sequence is less than a threshold value, and if the result of the verification is negative, then the electronic unit passes to a waiting state from which it executes steps a) to c) on receiving a signal from the at least one control member.

6. The method according to claim 1 , including a step of verifying whether a duration of a button pressing during the predetermined press sequence has a value greater than a first threshold value and less than a second threshold value, and if the result of the verification is negative, then the electronic unit passes to a waiting state from which it executes steps a) to c) on receiving a signal from the at least one control member.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, when the electronic unit switches to training mode, return information is sent to a user in visual or audible form.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, when the electronic unit has switched to training mode, recording a predetermined press sequence, enabling the electronic unit subsequently to switch to the training mode, the recorded predetermined press sequence being recorded by activating the at least one button of the at least one control member.

9. A method of configuring a system for driving a screen for a closure, sun protection, or projection purposes, wherein the system includes: an actuator for driving the screen; at least one control member provided with at least one button; and an electronic unit for controlling the actuator as a function of a control signal received from the control member upon pressing of the at least one button; the method comprising a step of switching the electronic unit to a training mode, on the basis of a series of control signals received by the at least one control member, said series of signals being the result of executing a predetermined press sequence on the at least one button of the at least one control member; the method further comprising comprises the following successive steps: a) the electronic unit processing signals received from the at least one control member and causing the actuator to execute an order associated with a press on the at least one button; b) the electronic unit identifying an initial button of the predetermined press sequence; and c) the electronic unit comparing the pressed button with the initial button; wherein if the result of the comparison of step c) is positive, the method includes the following successive steps: d) the electronic unit accesses a memory storing information relating to the predetermined press sequence; e) the electronic unit identifies a following button to be pressed in the predetermined press sequence; f) on receiving a signal the electronic unit causes the actuator to execute an order associated with a button that corresponds to the received signal on being pressed; g) the electronic unit compares the pressed button with the following button; and h) if the result of the comparison in step g) is positive, the electronic unit compares whether the following button identified during step e) matches a final button of the predetermined press sequence; wherein steps d) and e) are reproduced so long as the result of the comparison in step g) is positive and the result of the comparison in step h) is negative; and wherein the electronic unit switches to the training mode when the result of the comparison of step h) is positive; and wherein, during execution of the predetermined press sequence, the electronic unit causes the actuator to start a movement or to cease to move as a function of at least one signal received from the at least one control member.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein, if the result of the comparison of either of the steps c) or g) is negative, then the electronic unit passes to a waiting state from which it executes steps a) to c) on receiving a signal from the at least one control member.

11. The method according to claim 9 , including a step for verifying whether a duration of the execution of the predetermined press sequence is less than a threshold value, and if the result of the verification is negative, then the electronic unit passes to a waiting state from which it executes steps a) to c) on receiving a signal from the at least one control member.

12. The method according to claim 9 , including a step of verifying whether a duration of a button pressing during the predetermined press sequence has a value greater than a first threshold value and less than a second threshold value, and if the result of the verification is negative, then the electronic unit passes to a waiting state from which it executes steps a) to c) on receiving a signal from the at least one control member.

13. The method according to claim 9 , wherein, when the electronic unit switches to training mode, return information is sent to a user in visual or audible form.
